NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY
1965 SESSION

CHAPTER 657
SENATE BILL 386

AN ACT TO AUTHORIZE THE TRANSFER OF CERTAIN UNEXPENDED BALANCES FROM BOND FUNDS LEFT OVER AFTER THE COMPLETION OF HOSPITAL PROJECTS OF THE MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEM TO THE APPROPRIATION FOR THE COMPLETION OF THE SEWAGE DISPOSAL PLANT AT CHERRY HOSPITAL.

WHEREAS, the Department of Mental Health is engaged in the construction of a sewage disposal plant at Cherry Hospital, Wayne County, and it became necessary to expend funds to collect all the sewage lines, which have heretofore emptied into Little River at some eight or ten places, at a central point before any sewage treatment plant could be constructed; and
WHEREAS, after the completion of the collection facilities and after the appropriation for the sewage treatment plant had been made and the contract had been let to bids and the bids opened it was found that the total required to let the contract for the building of the sewage plant amounted to five hundred sixty-one thousand five hundred fifteen dollars and seventy-four cents ($561,515.74); and
WHEREAS, there are a number of money items in the capital improvement budget of the Mental Health Department remaining after projects have been completed, and these funds are still unspent, and a transfer of these unexpended balances which amount to seventy-one thousand thirty dollars and twelve cents ($71,030.12) will make available sufficient funds to award the contract: Now, therefore,

The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:

Section 1.  That all unexpended balances resulting from the proceeds of bond issues which have heretofore been made available to the Department of Mental Health and its hospitals, the same representing funds left over after projects have been completed, be, and the same are hereby, transferred and appropriated to the Department of Mental Health for the completion of the sewage disposal plant at Cherry Hospital, and if any funds remain after the completion of the sewage disposal plant the said balance is appropriated to the Department of Mental Health for any contingencies that may arise in the construction of capital facilities.
Sec. 2.  All laws and clauses of laws in conflict with the provisions of this Act are hereby repealed.
Sec. 3.  This Act shall be in full force and effect from and after its ratification.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 21st day of May, 1965.
